Conservative-Democratic Party

The Conservative-Democratic Party (PCD) was a conservative-liberal political party in Romania that was active from 1908 to 1922. The party was founded by Take Ionescu, and it separated from the Conservative Party of Romania with the goal of creating a third ruling party. It represented traders, real estate owners, industrialists, wealthy peasants, lawyers, teachers, doctors, and the urban intellectual proletariat, and it supported conservative ideas on the democratic foundation of the country. Ionescu's death in 1922 led to the collapse of his powerful party.
